In another case, I had a $4m listing expire after 6 months and the sellers hired another realtor.

Hi Marcus,If it were mine, I'd hire a property inspector (like when you buy a home) vs having a tradesman do the inspection and see what he says.If it needs to be fixed, I'd get at least 3 bids from contractors who do this work for a living (state licenced brick masons) with (workman's comp insurance), and get 3 recent references from each one of them.

The tour starts on the Eastside trail and takes you south, by air conditioned bus, along the trail, with a guide who talks for the next 3 hours about what the Beltline is, how it came to be, the history of the neighborhoods, the real estate development happening (why I went), and what the path of development is over the next decade.

I also saw that she was busy hiring her family members to do work at the property (Trust me when I say that friends and family DO NOT match with running a great business/property).Having learned from previous experience I knew that I had to take action.

Can I still be hired by a company or work for myself if my license was not received through an accredited school or program? 

If you don't mind airing your secrets, what lenders are you using here in Alaska for portfolio and hard money?

There are 4 Universities in town plus the Air Force and summer seems to be prime move in time.  

Do you plan on managing these properties yourself or hiring a PM company?

(Dodd Frank)***I can do my own OF up to 3 homes before needing to hire a RMLO licensed originator?

More of anything the garage and trim repair, paint touch ups, central air system, dishwasher, kitchen vent, some closet doors, and little stuff here and there probably need to be up to date.I asked before I left if she would take anything lower that what has been offered and she said, "work the numbers in repairs and make an offer than."
